Verizon is always the slowest when it comes to new technology. Their wireless cdma is based on 1950s technology that an actress dreamed up. I guess it shouldn't be surprising when they steer away from technology like how it took them forever to get the iPhone or how they insist on not carrying Windows phones or other new tech. I have had a smartphone since the days of green screen smart phones and one day I called Verizon support to return a phone that was horrible and the agent said "Maybe you are bot ready for a smart phone". Hate them I wish we could start a boycott. -9 year Verizon customer who was really glad to have switched to ATT
